Nature of Unsatisfactory Sample		Remarks
	Serial No. 3100
(o)	Bread Composition: A small amount of crumb was adhering to the ends of the wo0d splinters but it was not possible to prove that the splinters had been embedded in the loaf. Apart from one very small fragment of wo0d visible through a hand lens no other pieces of wo0d or pencil lead were found.	Matter investigated. Warning letter to bakers.
	Serial No. 3179
(h)	Cherry Sultana Cake Composition: The coin is a Greek 50 Lepta coin, i.e. half a drachma, of 1962 showing King Paul. The faces of the coin are undamaged but the rim has been severely hammered all round the circumference. When received the coin had adherent crumb on both sides but no other foreign matter was detected in the cake.	Matter investigated. Warning letter to packers of fruit.
	Serial No. 2956
(h)	Fruit Buns Composition: The spider which was alleged to have fallen out of the bun had a few crumb particles adherent to it but from its condition appeared not to have been subjected to a mixing process.	Matter investigated. Source of spider uncertain. No further action.
	Serial No. 3180
(h)	Doughnut Composition: Cigarette filter tip with fragments of doughnut adhering. The filter tip was from a cigarette which had been smoked and the material adhering to it consisted of cooked wheat flour.	Legal proceedings. Baker fined £25 with £24 16s. 0d. costs.
	Serial No. 2918
(t)	Cinnamon Sugar Composition: Microscopic examination indicated that the spice was cassia rather than cinnamon. In Canada, the country of origin, it appears that the terms cinnamon and cassia are interchangeable and that what in Britain is called cinnamon is there known as Ceylon Cinnamon.	Correspondence with manufacturer. Analyst agreed no further action.
	Serial No. 3051
(u)	Blackcurrant Lemon Drink Composition: The list of ingredients mentioned liquid glucose B.P.C. but this comm0dity is not now a B.P.C. article.	Correspondence with manufacturer. Labels being amended satisfactorily.
